1Opinion of the Court

Clarke, Justice.

Appellant was tried and convicted by a jury of murder and motor vehicle theft. The trial court imposed a sentence of life imprisonment for the murder and five years imprisonment for the motor vehicle theft, to run concurrently with the murder sentence.

Defendant’s appointed counsel has requested permission to withdraw from the appeal. He has filed a brief in which he states that after a careful review of the record he finds no basis for an appeal and that any appeal in this case would be wholly frivolous. Anders v. California, 386 U. S. 738 (87 SC 1396, 18 LE2d 493) (1967).
